Really? I always thought purple was associated with poorness instead of royalty. Ha ha ha ha! Thanks for telling, now I know.

It never crossed my mind that purple would be associated with poorness. That was interesting. Why did you think so? For me, the white one represents purity. It could be freedom too. What do you think?

i agree with you habagat..white to me is freedom or purity/innocence too..but i never think on the purple color to be a poor man's color..

I didn't know that they have a celebration called "purple ribbon". I could imagine the island surrounded with purple colors. By the way, when do they celebrate this occasion?

This maybe the "Carnibal" Celebration holiday in Aruba. Where they celebrate it for weeks. I don't know if they are still wearing this purple ribbon during this celebration.

I see. What made you think it maybe the Carnibal Celebration of Aruba anyway?

I am not quite aware with the royalty colors. Now I know that purple is one of it. I think Aruba might be influenced by the Dutch culture. Does anyone knows if the island is part of a Dutch country?

I don't know if Aruba is part of Dutch colony. What could be the other colors associated with royalty? I don't think they only wear purple and white colors. I would bring purple clothes when I get there.

The colors gold and silver could be associated to royalty. How about royal blue? I am in a democratic country so I don't know any royalty colors. I wonder, what else it could be? :rolleyes:
